Like Adam and Eve in the Book of Genesis, Othello is tempted by the snake (Iago). The scene opens in the castle garden (Garden of Eden), where Desdemona unwittingly falls to Iago's plans. Iago lies and manipulates; he misleads and entrapps. He is the devil attacking the innocents. Thus, this is the scene of temptation.
